Haryana wrestler Bajrang Punia got angry at the doping agency: said- they don’t want me to continue wrestling; why don’t they answer about the expired kit – Panipat News

,

Bajrang Punia has time till July 11 to respond against the notice. Earlier, on May 5, NADA had also suspended him. When NADA suspended Bajrang last time, his suspension was revoked by the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel three weeks later, as he was not issued a notice.

Now NADA has issued a notice to Bajrang Punia along with the suspension. During the national trials for the Asian qualifiers to participate in the Olympic Games on March 10, NADA had asked Bajrang to give a sample. But, Bajrang refused to give the sample. However, now Bajrang Punia’s response has come.

Indian wrestler has expressed his views on X

This is the second suspension in 2 consecutive months after NADA revoked the first suspension in the same case. NADA clearly ignored all the facts given to them and suspended me again. This shows how NADA is targeting me, they don’t want me to continue wrestling at any cost.

They have no answers and do not want to take responsibility for their mistakes. They just want to harass the athlete to get rid of themselves. NADA does not want anyone to question their wrong ways and if someone does, he is targeted so that he cannot continue his sport. If NADA wants to challenge the wrestlers’ patience and determination to stand up for their rights for its arrogance, let it do so. The wrestler is here and will fight till the end. My lawyers will file their reply in time.

Bajrang Punia has given his reaction on X.

Bajrang asked for answers to these questions
– Why does NADA not respond about expired kits?
– Why does NADA not answer how an unregistered chaperone who was not named in the mission order approached and pressured me for sample collection?
– Why doesn’t NADA answer why I was pressured to collect samples between two matches when they knew I had only 20 minutes to prepare for the next wrestling match.
